This week I had two days at home with Liam. On Tuesday I worked half the day from home (impossible to do with a two and a half year old) and then on Thursday he was sick and had a nasty rash which I had to get checked out (all fine). I realised this week it it was the simple things in life that make me happy. Work is a part of that but there are other things that make me feel like I have fed my soul with some chicken soup.
* Creating our garden. I love getting muddy and picking out the plants at the nursery and then seeing it all come together. I love it when it rains so that all the plants are getting watered. If I don't watch myself I'll start talking to them soon.
* Spending time with Liam. I love our conversations about buses, trains and tractors and singing the great white shark song. Its a brilliant age and it has its ups (such a great memory for a kid!) and downs (massive temper tantrums where everyone stares in the middle of a shopping centre) but I do love being his mum so much.
* It occured to me on Tuesday that I have never shared a bath with Liam. On Tuesday morning we did. We made bubble moustaches and sang about horses and brushed our teeth together. It was an absolute joy.
* Let's not forget my gorgeous husband. I love waking up in the middle of the night to get a drink and return to our warm bed and cuddle up to him. I feel safe and secure and at peace. And happy.
* I bought flannelette pyjamas at Myer today for $13. And they have spots. I love them and have them on now and plan to spend a large majority of Sunday in them.
* Sharing a glass of wine with my husband at the end of the day. Whether its on the couch watching Spooks on a Saturday night or sharing a bowl of cashews at the kitchen table while we natter about life, I love looking forward to that glass of wine.
Simple girl, simple pleasures.
